SATURDAY MARCH 5, 1887
ThsPreosO..s Metals.

The report of the Director OF the
Mint, which was transmitted to Con-
gress Tuesday, contains the statistics oil
the production of the precious metals
for 1885. It shows that the produc-
tion of gold last year exceeded that of
any previous year since 1880, and al
most eQualej the production OF that
wear. which was 37,sOo,OOO, against
$s5. 900 900 in 1886. The production
of silver in 1896, as nearly as can be
ascertained, was $41 ,S95,9S0. The
gold bullion imported into the United
States amounted to $17,947,9iS, while
the amount exported was $97.s62,6S
There was also imported gold coin to
the value of $2s, 1861 ,663, and gold
coin to the value of $l3,39S,S 1868 was
exported. The imports and exports
of gold coin and bullion in 1886 AL
most correspond in amount. though
there was slight gain by the move
ment of gold to the United States.
This report disproves the theory adj
vanced by the gold-bugs that the COIN
age of standard dollars is driving gold
out of the country. The United States
in 1886, not only held the $4,000, 900
of gold produced from the mines, but
also exported less gold coin and bull
lion than was imported, thus proving
that Senator Sherman's prejudice
against the silver dollar overrides his
judgement.

ing effect upon the labor market OF
New Mexico. The article has
gone the rounds of the Territorial
press, occasionally being seized
hold OF by editors as a text for
comment to the effect that the
fact cited was a dcplorablo one.

of another subject, republishes
our sQuib. and several annotations
attached by our exchanges, and
rcprobates the seeming current
idea enunciated by the press, that
it is capital, not labor that New

text, the Optic wakes eloquent III

combats the idea, saying that mus

are needed mere.
While it is true that no bars
are up at any point OF our Terri

them to eke out 4 bare subsistence.
There is no use in mincing words
on this subject. 1t is upon us,
and has probably come to stay,
and sooner or later the question
will have to be heroically met, not

Tile Why md tie Wherefore.


Aug. 80, 'S7.
En-. LEADER -
| am under many obligations to
you and your paper, for the manly
stand You take III behalf of my
father, Allen Henley, and against
the Rev. Mr.. Sigh.
Why Mr.. Sigh should be an
enemy to us, is a question you can
answer after | give you a state
ment Of some Of the facts in the
case.
In the first place, my father
bought out Wilson McVeigh for
another party. That party failed
to take the stock, which left him
in possession OF a business that
he, at his extreme age, didn't
want, especially the saloon and
stock-whIch stock consisted OF
ten barrels OF old crow whisky.
In order to save himself tinanci-
ally, he was forced to take out a
license to retail same. In order
to sell whisky, | thought it nC ces-
sary to keep beer and wine, or in
other words, an assortment of
goods in tnat line, which any busi-
ness man will understand.
Some time after Mr.. Sigh com
mcnced to build the Nugget Office.
| was over there, and IN course Of
conversation, the whisky question
was brought up, in which | told
him that | aid not Ike saloon bus
mess, and that my father would
sell out as soon as he could, to
which Mr.. Sigh replied that he
would help me all that he could in
the matter. Now, to all fair mind
ed men, | will ask the question,
